JailBooks: PsychLaw Journal's Second Annual Summer Reading List

Last summer, I compiled a list of books that would make for good summer reading. If you were locked in jail. Here is the list.

I am now looking for a new batch of summer reads for those in less fortunate circumstances. Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated. 

Here are the rules:

1. The book must been published in 2013/2014. Books about to be published are fine. 

2. It is fine to submit a book you have not written. If you love it and think it would make for good summer jail reading, suggest it. You don't need to send me a copy of a book you have not written yourself (although I would gladly accept books from strangers).

3. eBook-only suggestions will not be accepted. I have nothing against people who only publish their books electronically, but it is impossible to read an eBook in jail. No electronic devices allowed.

4. If you are submitting a physical book you have written for consideration and want it to be reviewed, please mail copies to Maximillian Wachtel, Ph.D., 720 S. Colorado Blvd., #610-S, Denver, CO 80246.

Physical copies of books will not be returned.

5. Send email submissions to jailbooks@cherrycreekpsychology.com.

6. It is fine to submit a book you have not written. If you love it and think it would make for good summer jail reading, suggest it. You don't need to send me a copy of a book you have not written yourself (although I would gladly accept books from strangers).

Thanks, and I can't wait to start reviewing!
